Last night I figuratively let down the hair after work and had one hell of a night out with one of my best friends, lots of talk, lots of vodka fire-engines, lots of dancing, lots of laughs and a cute boy or two. Total blast of a night and I got to wear a gorgeous skirt I picked up yesterday from Myer for $18 reduced from $60! score!
I made the best biscuits I have ever made and/or eaten the other day, a variation of a family staple called Apricot Wheat-germ Biscuits, these I think shall be called Sultana Hazelnut Biscuits.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups soft brown sugar
250g softened cooking margarine
2 eggs
dollop of vanilla
1 cup cornflakes
1 cup coconut
3/4 cup sultanas
1 cup hazelnut meal
1.75 cups whole-meal plain flour
3tsp baking powder
Method:
Preheat oven to 160°C and grease biscuit trays. Cream together margarine and sugar, add in eggs. All in together this fine weather mix in the rest of the ingredients, adding a bit of milk if mixture is too dry or some more flour if mixture is too moist.
Roll into balls and flatten lightly and cook in oven till when a finger pressed lightly into a biscuit does not leave a mark. Makes plenty.
Those look really delicious. What are sultanas? Oh, and the cake plate, like you said, is terrific for photographing/displaying your cookies (biscuits). Cheers!
Hi Liesl, Sultanas are a form of dried grapes, I believe they are also called Golden Rasins in other parts of the world - they are a softer and sweeter form of rasin. cheers
Well im glad that you had fun dancing away with me. And for the record…you were sooo drinkning those drinks heaps faster than me Missy!!! I think that you may be the bad influence
But it will have to become a semi-regular thing! And NO BEAT!!!
I was pretty sure, but know I know. Biscuits are cookies!
hee hee hee Fun on the new skirt!! I just bought a new one myself, but it would look way better if I were a size 10 again. LOL
